Guru Hargobind in 1644 as well as Guru Har Rai in 1661 were cremated
here. The ashes of Guru Harkrishan were brought from Delhi and
immersed here in the river Sutlej in 1664. In 1675 Guru Gobind Singh
at the age of nine received the tragic news that his father Guru Tegh
Bahadur had been executed in Delhi. Guru Gobind Singh traveled from
here to Anandpur Sahib for the cremation of his fathers head which had
been spirited away from Delhi by a devoted Sikh, Bhai Jaita.
